Perkin Elmer Clarus 500 from USA to Europe

Hello,

I am writing from Europe. I am using a Clarus 500 split / splitless / FID chromatograph. I want to extend this chromatograph with a second channel, also Split / slpitless / FID. It is not profitable to buy parts separately. I would like to buy a used chromatograph in the USA and rearrange the parts. I have a question, will all internal modules work properly with 230V?

Regards

If the unit you have requires throwing a switch, changing cords and (maybe) changing the fuse on the back panel, then it should be Yes, the internals are the same.

According to "Clarus 500 GC Installation Guide" you only need to "change the wiring on the AC Distribution P.C. board as described in the following procedures".
Procedure is printed on page 85 of above mentioned guide.

So every Clarus 500 GC is suitable for different power supplies around the world. Very convenient, especially for manufacturer.
